(PHILADELPHIA) — President Donald Trump blended legislative issues and sports Saturday, declaring the flight of his head of staff before settling in for Army-Navy football game.
The president traveled to Philadelphia for the 119th gathering in the storied competition between the administration foundations, and directed the coin hurl at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Naval force called “tails,” and that is the thing that it was the point at which Trump’s flipped coin arrived on the turf. Naval force chose to commence.
As he went out, Trump told columnists that head of staff John Kelly would venture down at year’s end. The president was required to before long name a substitution, and a White House official said Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s head of staff, was Trump’s best decision.
Prior Saturday, Trump picked an Army general, Mark Milley, to be his next best military consultant.
Trump, who saw the Army-Navy challenge in 2016 as president-elect, is the tenth sitting president to go to the amusement. President Theodore Roosevelt was the first, in 1901.
Like past presidents, Trump was relied upon to switch sides at halftime in a show of unbiasedness.
No. 22 Army (9-2) is in the AP Top 25 out of the blue since 1996. The Black Knights have won seven of every a line and have vanquished Navy (3-9) two straight years.
The arrangement started in 1890, and Navy drives 60-51-7.
